Republican House candidate Tina Forte, who is running against New York Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, said Democratic politicians are wrongly blaming guns for the rise of criminal activity in major cites across the country.
An outspoken small business owner who achieved notoriety on the internet as “Bronx Tina” in a series of combatively pro-Trump, expletive-laden videos, Forte won the Aug. 23 GOP primary in New York’s 14th Congressional District with 67% of the vote.
“They’re blaming the guns right away” for rising violent crime, Forte told Just the News. “They’re not blaming the woke policies. They’re not blaming them whatsoever. They’re not blaming the bail reform. They’re not blaming letting the violent criminals back out, back out onto the streets, no matter what they do. They go in front of a judge and they’re just let back out.”
Forte argued that the Second Amendment is intended to protect the American public from tyranny.
“New York is a mess,” Forte said. “The district is a mess. The city is a mess. There’s just so much going on. I don’t understand how anyone can look at this and not look at it as lunacy, what’s going on. Not only in New York, but in our country.
“They’re blaming guns, okay, and we all know that it wasn’t; they are not gun owners doing these violent crimes. Okay, the Second Amendment is to protect us from tyranny.
“There’s a lot of crime in New York, carjackings, deaths, everything, it just keeps rising and rising, and [New York Mayor Eric Adams] wants to come out and they want to make speeches about gun control, so you know what? I don’t think they’re getting it.”
Forte said she thinks immigrants in Ocasio-Cortez’s district are ready for a change in leadership. She said legal immigrants are unhappy with New York City’s attempt to […]
Will America-First News Outlets Make it to 2023?
Things are looking grim for conservative and populist news sites.
There’s something happening behind the scenes at several popular conservative news outlets. 2021 was bad, but 2022 is proving to be disastrous for news sites that aren’t “playing ball” with the corporate media narrative. It’s being said that advertisers are cracking down, forcing some of the biggest ad networks like Google and Yahoo to pull their inventory from conservative outlets. This has had two major effects. First, it has cooled most conservative outlets from discussing “taboo” topics like Pandemic Panic Theater, voter fraud, or The Great Reset. Second, it has isolated those ad networks that aren’t playing ball.
Certain topics are anathema for most ad networks. Speaking out against vaccines or vaccine mandates is a certain path to being demonetized. Highlighting voter fraud in the 2020 and future elections is another instant advertising death penalty. Throw in truthful stories about climate change hysteria, Critical Race Theory, and the border crisis and it’s easy to understand how difficult it is for America-First news outlets to spread the facts, share conservative opinions, and still pay the bills.
Without naming names, I have been told of several news outlets who have been forced to either consolidate with larger organizations or who have backed down on covering certain topics out of fear of being “canceled” by the ad networks. I get it. This is a business for many of us and it’s not very profitable. Those of us who do this for a living are often barely squeaking by, so loss of additional revenue can often mean being forced to make cuts. That means not being able to cover the topics properly. Its a Catch-22: Tell the truth and lose the money necessary to keep telling the truth, or avoid the truth and make enough money to survive. Those who have chosen survival simply aren’t able to spread the truth properly.
We will never avoid the truth. The Lord will provide if it is His will. Our job is simply to share the facts, spread the Gospel, and educate as many Americans as possible while exposing the forces of evil.
To those who have the means, we ask that you please donate. We have options available now, but there is no telling when those options will cancel us. We have our GivingFuel page. There have been many who have been canceled by PayPal, but for now it’s still an option. Your generosity is what keeps these sites running and allows us to get the truth to the masses. We’ve had great success in growing but we know we can do more with your assistance.
Thank you, and God Bless!
